SLIPKNOT’s JIM ROOT: I Was ‘Mind-Blown’ By Music Of ARIANA GRANDE

During a recent interview with Ireland’s Joe, SLIPKNOT guitarist Jim Root praised the pop star Ariana Grande admitting he was mind-blown first time he heard her music.

“One of the girls at our management company was listening to some Ariana Grande, and I didn’t know that that’s what she was listening to,” Root said. “I was like, ‘What is that? That’s awesome! That’s got, like, a VIBE to it, you know?’ She told me what it was, and I was kind of mind-blown.”

SLIPKNOT released their sixth studio album, We Are Not Your Kind, on August 9 via Roadrunner Records. Album was once again recorded at a Los Angeles studio with producer Greg Fidelman, who engineered and mixed SLIPKNOT‘s 2004 album Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)and helmed 2014’s .5: The Gray Chapter.

In his lawsuit, Fehn claims to have always been told that the money from merchandise and touring is funneled through one sole company that splits profits and pays the members of the band. However, Fehn claims he recently discovered that his bandmates have set up several other SLIPKNOT-affiliated business entities in different states that appear to be collecting money from the band.
